have invented an imp el-Corsets, of which the is a spoon cation.

c tii re and in an effort to conform to the prevailing sty sand fashionsthere is an eifort among we en both stout and slender to make them-eel 3appear more slende ian they are i i reality, and in the cases or inwomen the tension applied to the body by the corset gari t to 1 reducethis effect ofte times bears a st the hip bone with a sumcient pressureto be painful and many time in such a manner to he injurious. The objecttherefore of the or sent inveu n is to overcome this difil hulty by protding a corset garment in which in the sides thereof there are providedconcave sections adapted to conforito the hip bones of wearer in such amanner as to relieve the pressure which would otherwise be exertedagainst the hip bones and to enable the wearer to use the corset toproduce the desired slender appearance without any injurious bodilyeffect.

In carrying out the invention to produce the desired effect the corsetgarment is preferablv made in halves to be connected at the front by theusual Clasps and at the back by the customary adjusting laces and thecentral or side por ion of each corset body half is made in parts prferably three in number and extending from the top to the bottom of thegarment and so shaped and connected, as hereinafter described, as toform a circinnferential concave section into which the hip bone of thewearer is adapted to so that no undue pressure in the use of the garmentwill be brought to bear against the hip bone.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a perspective view illustrating the use of the corsetgarment made in accordance with this invention, and

Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view of one half of the garment.

Referring particularly to the drawing and as hereinbefore statec thecorset'made in accordance with this invention is made in the usualcorset body halves which are designated by 10 and 11 respectively. As iscustomary these corset body halves in the front portions are providedwith steels 12, one of 1, city, county, and

which is fitted with the usual stud members 13 and the other with theusual socket members to be engaged the one with the other in con nectingthe halves of the garment at the front thereof. Also as is customary,the halves of the garment at the back are fitted with series of eyelets15 to receive the adjusting laces as commonly employed in securing thegarment in'position on the body of the wearer. In this corset also thecorset body halves thereof are provided with depending skirt memberswhich are indicated respectively at 16 and 1?". As shown in the drawingthe front portion of each corset body half is provided with stays 18that are suitably placed therein, and the back portion of each corsetbody half with stays 19 which are suitably placed therein.

The central portion of each corset body half or that part thereof whichlies at the side of the wearer is preferably made in sections so shapedand connected as to have a concave section for the reception of the hipof the wearer. It will be understood that the number of parts comprisingthis central portion of each corset body half may be varied, although.as illustrated I prefer to make this central portion in three parts asindicated, the central part being designated by 20 and the parts lyingon either side thereof by 21 and 22. These parts of the central portionextend from the upper edge of the garment through the body portionthereof and to the lower edge of the skirt member and the central part20 at the lower end is pointed as indicated at 23 and the edges thereofdiverge upwardly with curved portions 2% and 26, the curvature of whichgradually decreases until at points above the waistline the edges ofthis central member are substantially straight and continue so to theupper edge of the garment as indicated at 25 and 27. The outer parts 21and 22 of the central portion are correspondingly shaped but reverselyplaced, diverging from the upper edge of the corset downwardly to thelower edge of the skirt member and these parts are connected to oneanother by linesof stitching 1nd1cated respect1vely at 28 and .'sure inthe use of the garment is brought to bear against the hip bone. Also asindicated in the drawing'the front portions of the corset body halves.may be fitted with hose supporter straps 31 and preferably I also employhose supporter straps attached to the lower edge of the skirtsection atthe base of the central part 20, these hose supporter straps beingindicated at 32.

I claim as my invention:

1. An apparel corset comprising corset body halves each having dependingskirts, and a side portionmade of component parts ea'ch'extending fromthe upper edge of the garment to the lower edge of the skirt and formedand connected to provide a circumferential concave section for fittingover the hip bone of the wearer to relieve the pres-.

' sure otherwise placed thereon in the use of the garment.

2. An apparel corset comprising corset bodyhalves each having dependingskirts, and a side portion made of a central and two adjacent parts eachextending fromvthe" upper edge of the garment to the lower edge of theskirt member, the central part being pointed at its lower end and havingits'edges diverging upwardly and curved for a predecircumferentialconcave section therein at the curved edge portions thereof to fit overthe hip of the wearer torelieve the pressure which would otherwise beplaced thereon in the use ofthe garment.
